Yeshiva Torah Temimah

The location on Ocean Parkway in Flatbush, Brooklyn houses approximately 650 boys ranging in age from nursery school through the twelfth grade; the school previously maintained a separate building for tertiary study, with an additional enrollment of about 100 students, which has since moved to Staten Island, with current enrollment at approximately 25 students.

[citation needed] The yeshiva made headlines when one of its teachers and assistant principal,[12] Joel (Yehuda) Kolko, was charged in 2006 with sexually abusing two first-graders and forcing an adult former student to touch him during a visit to the school.

Kolko later pleaded guilty to two lesser counts of child endangerment and was sentenced to three years' probation,[13] later left the school,[14] and died in November 2020.

The suit also alleged that school principal Lipa Margulies waged a "a campaign of intimidation, concealment and misrepresentations designed to prevent victims from filing lawsuits.

In December 2019, an additional lawsuit was filed under the Child Victims Act against the school and Margulies (NYS Kings County Supreme Court Index #526789/2019) by a "John Doe" plaintiff alleging that Kolko sexually abused him in 1994 while he was a student at the yeshiva.
